Yes your normal: The maxillary lateral incisor is the second most common congenitally absent tooth. Lucky for you, today there are many ways to replace them. I suggest you be evaluated for implants in those sites if the bone in the area is adequate. See your dentist and he can help you be happier with your smile.

You are normal: There are several ways to manage this. You are at a good age to consider dental implants. I would visit your dentist to discuss this.
